  • Hi guys! In this video I’ll show you some of the products that you can find in Samberi, the chain of supermarket in Khabarovsk. I’ll show you a lot of sea products such as dried seaweed, herring, imitated caviar, and unusual drinks like Milkis and local beer. I hope you’ll like this video!

    About myself
    Hi! My name is Natasha, I live in the Far East of Russia in the city of Khabarovsk, but originally I'm from a small town Spassk-Dalny in Primorsky Krai. Currently I'm studying Linguistics in the university. On this channel I make videos about life in Russia, our traditions and my traveling in Russian cities. Welcome, and let's explore Russia together! #yeahrussia

      Very stupid comment. Nice local chocolates and local canned food. I use my imagination to know what supermatrkets in far away cities of big countries may be like if I visit such a city. RUclips makes the imagination redundant. It's aproblem. People online originally from NATO member countries like FunkyDoo become jealous that a country is so big with far flung cities. They make nasty comments. They should blame the Romanov dynasty for making Russia so big, not her, or Stalin. People like FunkyDoo if sent to live in an American base in a NATO country will become jealous and making stupid online comments.

In this case, the lack of "bells and whistles" means that while this RUclipsr's videos has no special features (production quality isn't particularly high, scripting isn't particularly good, etc. - the kinds of things that many RUclipsrs use to make their videos flashier and more attractive), the content is interesting, and the simple presentation of the RUclipsr has a charm in its own way.

    This is so interesting because many of these products are actually familiar to me, except it's a result of different cultural communities growing with immigration rather than proximity. Like the ChocoPie and Milkis I already know, but I hadn't seen them in local grocery stores until I was in my mid-teens since there was a slightly bigger market for Japanese snacks and foods beforehand.

    The amount of Korean and Japanese products and brands I could spot in the background, and some of your favorite foods growing up, actually surprised me. Seeing Binggrae, Lotte and Milki from Korea and Nissin, Asahi and Calpis from Japan on the shelves actually made me a little homesick (I'm half Japanese, half Korean born in America).
    I used to love Choco Pie as a kid, too! But I don't like Calpis, or Milki, as much after a bad experience with it in Japan. I visited "Santa Village" and was given Calpis served hot. Ew. Apparently it's common to serve Calpis atsukan during the winter months in northern Japan.

    Great video as always.
    About iodine:
    Our body keeps the iodine in storage in our thyroid glands. When uranium is decaying it produces a radioactive version of iodine (~an unstable isotope of iodine). In case of a nuclear accident this radioactive iodine gets into the air/water/food. Your thyroid glands cannot make difference between the radioactive and the non radioactive version of iodine so there is a chance it puts into the storage the radioactive iodine, effectively keeping the radioactive material in your gland.
    The only way to prevent that is to flush your body with stable, non-radioactive iodine which fills up your iodine storage so there is no chance for the radioactive iodine to become part of your body, so it is just running through. That's why it is important to eat as much "clean" iodine as much fills up your storage in case of an nuclear accident - but do not overdose.

Like US$12 for a package of 8 if I remember correctly. In the US it would likely be $3.00 or less, you can probably find them (or something similar) at a $1.25 store.

    My wife, who is from Moscow, and I had an apartment there. We used to shop in the local grocery stores but also in an "Italian store" very similar to this one. They had all of this kind of stuff, also wine of various quality and cost. They had expensive wines on the top shelves, "top shelf" wine - duh. I was always wondering how this stuff didn't get knocked onto the floor and shattered. We would go there late at night in the dead of winter, the snow frozen all around, and buy what we needed in what was actually a really warm atmosphere. I don't miss the cold of Moscow, but I remember with great fondness shopping late at night, having a late supper, and walking home in a light snowfall to our very warm apartment. Despite the cold, it always made me feel warm and cozy.

    This is exactly the kind of thing I like to see to round out my understanding of what every day life is like in the Far East of Russia. It is good to know that nobody is so isolated they are starving or anything, even though I have no illusions that life is a bit harder out there. Being myself born and raised in the Pacific Islands I do have an idea what it is like to live on the far end of a logistical supply chain and watched my poor and primitive people only slowly catch up with the 20th Century and come above a bare subsistence living (I know it is the 21st Century but we tend to lag behind a good century at a time). It's surprising to me to see so many English names and so much Latin alphabet. I wouldn't be completely lost in your supermarket since I am also very familiar with many Asian brands and products. All in all this was a wonderful walk through the Market.
